Can't play videos. - Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, i have an E5823 unlocked bootloader and rooted on marshmallow 6.0.1. I have installed xposed and framework version 86. I only have one problem, a pretty big problem. I can't play videos. In youtube "There was a problem while playing tap to retry" and how many times i press it doesn't matter, the video won't play. In twitter "playback error" in reddit it doesn't say anything but it just loads forever and never plays the video. In instagram i can't watch videos either. And sometimes i can't even record video. A fix is to restart but it lasts for like 5 minutes and then the problem is back. This is really frustrating.

hey there... i had this problem too, i`m still on 6.0.1 with unlockded bootloader and rooted.. i reinstaled another kernel and the problem was solved! hope it helps

[Q] youtube wont work on stock hero gsm

Hi. I have 2 hero phones and a desire hd, so I love HTC. Anyhow my dad and wife use the hero phones and recently my wife complains that YouTube won't work. It says this video can't be played. Almost all videos are like this. My dads says he thinks his is the same but I will need to check.
The phones are not rooted and run 2.1. What can I do to fix this. All YouTube used to work fine when the hero was my own main phone. Would rooting and custom roms fix this.
Cheers des
Just a update. Videos older than about 1 year ago play fine, but newer than that won't play. I have installed tubemate and I can use that to watch newer videos, but it isn't as good to use as YouTube app. Also YouTube on the internet brings up a yellow ! when I try to play. Cheers.
Is this normal or am I missing something. Thanks guys.
It is because the new videos are played in HD. If you turn the phone to landscape, there is a HD button at the bottom. Press that and you'll be fine ... I hope ;-)
sent with love from me to you
Ok I tried this on both the hero phones and still the same problem. I can't play videos less that about 1 year old. What am I doing wrong. Cheers
hix
same me
i sometime i can play on youtube, now,i cant use flash play video
No one can help us ?
Try running the videos through Flash from browser m.youtube.com not Youtube app
Normally these kind videos run if you un check HQ option in the landscape mode
Post the video URL here, we can check if it works with an updated rooted phone.
This works for me. Where you see the HQ thing shows up just tap on it and it works.

the (adb install YouTube_signed.apk) should be (adb install signed_YouTube.apk). Good luck.

video lag in browsers

hi guys,
looked through the fora but could not find something maybe someone can help me out.
I have bad lag when i watch flashvideos in my browsers. all of them same lag. standardbrowser, skyfire, mozilla, dolphin.
Anyone with the same problem and even better anyone a solution?
Yeah I started thread couple week ago. It's in a q& a section. Unfortunately, there's no solution as of yet regarding video freezing but sound keep playing when streaming on network. Playing on wifi works fine.
One thing I found helps is restarting phone before starting Netflix for example or watching from browser.
Also note YouTube app does not suffer from this, so sometimes if it's a YouTube video embedded in the Page I just click on video link to be able to watch in the app instead of browser.

Yes I'm also suffering this problem. On network or WiFi on all browsers. Pain in the arse!

Flash doesn't lag on the GS3. But it does freeze frequently. If it lags then very likely you aren't actually using flash but the html5 player instead.
Netflix app does not actually use nor is dependant on flash. Also uninstalling flash completely, so that videos that do play, default to html5, still freeze while sound keeps playing, which leads to conclusion that it's not flash issue.

Try ICS Browser+ from Google play...
Flash videos did lag for me initially, so I tried clearing the application data but that wasn't possible. So I installed flash 10, which was incompatible, then updated it using Google Play to flash 11 and it seems to work better now.

[Q] Play Store App Demo Videos Don't Play

On my Nexus 9, in the Google Play Store, when I try to watch the demo video for any app, it will only play about 1 second of the video. Anyone else have this problem? Please reply either way. I would like to know if its working for anyone else.
Thanks!
Same for me. I first thought it was WiFi sucking, but its too consistent, its a bug on n9, works fine on my nexus 5.
Thanks. I thought the same thing and I have also tested on the same WiFi with my Nexus 5, both running Android 5.0.1 and it works on Nexus 5. Anyone know if this has been reported?
Ditto. Nexus 7 on Lollipop. Same issue. Tried all the normal debugging methods with the play store and video players.

Ditto on Nexus 9 here also.
I have the issue on my Shield Tablet running 5.0.1
I went into the developer options and unticked use Nuplayer, rebooted, that got it working for a while before it stopped again.
Ticking and unticking that box now has no effect.
Nexus 9 on 5.0.1
I see I am not the only one that has this issue. I did notice that if you hit the settings icon lower right corner of the screen. You have an option to select quality which doesn't seem to stick. But it also has a youtube link that if you tap, takes you to the youtube app and plays the video just fine through the youtube app itself.
Also when listening to music through the google play music app, when it has an option to play the music video, the same thing happens .
I have tried messing with the NuPlayer and AwesomePlayer, rebooting etc. and can only get 1 video to play before its back to not playing again.
I saw that a similar issue was reported to google where no videos could be played but this seems different? Can anyone confirm if its the same or different? and/or if google is working on a fix?
Exact same issue here on Nexus 9. Videos play for about half a second then stop. This happens in Google Play store previews, and Google Music videos. I have tried everything, including restarts, clearing cache, deleting/reinstalling all related apps, adjusting Nuplayer setting, and even factory reset. My Nexus 5 has no problems, so it's clearly a Nexus 9 bug. I tried contacting Google and they gave me the typical 'turn your tablet off by holding the power button for a whooooole 2 seconds....' response. I'm a long time Nexus fan, but I do get tired of these bugs.
Anyone found a solution?
It's not just a Nexus 9 problem, I'd already posted it doesn't work on my Shield tablet and I upgraded my old N7 2012 to 5.0.2 yesterday and it doesn't work on that either.
I don't think there is any solution sadly.
Just uninstall latest youtube update from playstore and it will work fine again.
Stupid google didn't fix this issue yet.
Wow, uninstalling youtube updates actually did work! Thanks!
Worked for me too, thank you
Yup Really puzzles me why google didn't fix this yet.
My back cover was also flexing a bit around middle and upper right (when looking from the back side). That was a pretty easy fix. Now its solid as a rock. If anyone has that problem I could upload a fix on youtube.
Besides above problems, I absolutely love this device.. Imo it's hand down the best android tablet to date, despite these flaws.
If you upgrade to YouTube v10, this will also fox the problem.
If you don't see the update in the Play Store you can download it from APK Mirror.

Yes, I can confirm this. Installed latest YouTube update from the Play Store (10.03), now demo videos play fine.

Play Videos on Youtube

Hello guys,
Maybe someone got the same issue like me.
I want to Play Videos from YouTube, yes it works at first start, can Play 4-5 Videos before the Play issue stops my current track.
Then a small text is written: We found a Problem, so we cant Play that Video. that appears everytime with 2nd app start and goes until i reinstall the app. This bug Comes with 5.1.1 or 5.0.2. I still don't know if i can fix that, or something is just not clear.
Hope anyone can give more Information.
Yeah. That's a classical problem of lollipop. Until now we have to reboot the device to make it work back again.

same problem
Hello
I have the same problem, uninstall first youtube but the problem persisted, only now restarting can continue watching videos
saludos
I've had this problem since 5.0.2 and it's really annoying.. Does anyone NOT have this problem? Or is this only because of some specific device issue or some other reason..

Youtube app no video

Hey. I have a sony xperia z4 tablet. For a while ago i rooted it and installed a rom after a while i found out that they didn't work properly. I then installed the official 6.0 marsmellow. At the time i got that i had a problem that sometimes after watching some vidoes it would say there was a problem playing this video or something like that, i tryed clearing the data and all that stuff but it didn't work. For every time i got that error i had to restart the tablet and then i could watch some more videos. After i installed 6.0 i think there has been 2 updates. After theese the error have changed in wierd ways after the last 7.0 nugat i can hear the sound but no video is showing
On the first vesion 6.0 i think the screen froze after a few seconds of watching but the audio kept playing.
On the second 6.2 i think not sure the error can't play this video try again later.
7.0 nugat there is no video just sound.
The quickfix for all of theese seem to be restart the device but i think its weird and i dont wanna keep doing this.

The only way to fix this problem is to use custom rom. I face this problem since lollipup, and havent found a solution. On custom roms no problem at all.
@alex009988
Thank u for quick reply. Do you know about any stable good costum roms? What r u using?
